Enjoy Good Health


And it is a good thing to receive wealth from God and the good health to enjoy it. To enjoy your work and accept your lot in life--this is indeed a gift from God. Ecclesiastes 5:19

Gift of health is from God. Enjoy it. It is inevitable that we all will die someday, so live today to the fullest, do your best and honor God. Enjoy your work, your health, your family and friends…life.


What are the causes of death in the US?
The statistics aren’t available yet for 2019, but overall here are the leading causes of death according to Medical News Today over the previous five years:

1.      Heart disease
2.      Cancer  - The number of cancer deaths (cancer mortality) in the United States was 163.5 per 100,000 men and women per year (based on 2011–2015 deaths).
a.       Lung
b.      Breast and Prostate

Do these diseases scare you? Are you or a loved one experiencing them or have a family history of any of these diseases? Are these preventable? Diet, life style, exercise? The choices we make impact our lives and the lives of those around us. Choose wisely.

What does the Bible have to say about these diseases or conditions?

Prayer ~ Lord, your discipline is good, for it leads to life and health. You restore my health and allow me to live! - Isaiah 38:16
